Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Risk response planning technique for a threat that creates changes to the project management plan that are meant to either eliminate the risk or to protect the project objectives from its impact.






2. Compares technical accomplishments during project execution to the project management plan's schedule of planned technical achievements.






3. One or more numerical or text values that identify characteristics of the work or in some way categorize the schedule activity that allows filtering and ordering of activities within reports






4. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat






5. A point that is not settled or is under discussion or over which there are opposing views or disagreements

8. Assurance that a product - service or system meets the needs of the customer and other identified stakeholders






9. Narrative description of products - services or results






10. Change to project scope. almost always requires an adjustment to the project cost or schedule






11. Measure of schedule efficiency on a project. ratio of earned value (EV) and the planned value (PV). SV = EV minus PV.






12. Examining or measuring to verify whether an activity - component - product - result of service conforms to specified requirements.






13. Fixed date imposed on a schedule activity or schedule milestone. usually - start no earlier than - finish no later than






14. Schedule activity that has a low total float.






15. Group of related schedule activities aggregated at some summary level and displayed as a single activity at that summary level. same as summary activity.






16. Skilled human resources - equipment - services - supplies - commodities - material - budgets or funds






17. Technique that computes or iterates the project cost or project schedule many times using input values selected at random from probability distributions of possible costs or durations - to calculate a distribution of total project costs or completion

19. Information system consisting of tools and techniques to gather - integrate and disseminate the outputs of project management processes.






20. ACWP

22. Process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives






23. Members of the project team who are directly involved in project management activities






24. Document containing the results of the qualitative risk analysis - quantitative risk analysis and risk response planning. details all identified risks including description - category - cause - probability of occurring - impact on objectives - propos






25. Structure that relates the project organizational breakdown structure to the work breakdown structure to help ensure that each component of the project scope of work is assigned to a person or team






26. Subdivision of a phase






27. Logical relationship where initiation of work of the successor activity depends on the completion of work of the predecessor activity






28. Something tangible used in performing an activity to produce a product or result






29. A table that links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the project life cycle






30. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity may begin based upon the schedule network logic - the project completion date and any constraints assigned to schedule activities without violating schedule constraint or delaying project com






31. Schedule activity that follows a predecessor activity as determined by their logical relationship






32. Any of all external environmental factors and internal organizational environmental factors that surround or influence the projects success. these factors are from any or all of the enterprises involved in the project and include organizational cultu






33. Documents and presentations that provide organized and summarized work performance information - earned value management parameters and calculations - and analyses of project work progress and status






34. Collection of generally sequential project phases whose name and number are determined by the control needs of the organization involved in the project






35. Assumptions are factors that - for planning purposes - are considered to be true - real - or certain without proof or demonstration






36. Document used to record and describe or denote selected items identified during execution of a process or activity






37. Developing a document that formally authorizes a project or phase and documenting initial requirement that satisfy the stakeholders needs and expectations






38. Document that specifies in a complete precise verifiable manner the requirements - design behavior or other characteristics of a system component - product - result or service






39. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






40. Centralized coordinated management of a program to achieve the program's strategic objectives and benefits






41. Describes each component in the work breakdown structure (WBS). for each WBS component - the WBS dictionary includes a brief definition of the scope of statement of work - defined deliverables - a list of associated activities and list of milestones.






42. The person assigned by the performing organization to achieve the project objectives






43. An approved plan for a project - plus or minus approved changes. it is compared to actual performance to determine if performance is within acceptable variance thresholds. generally refers to the current baseline - but may refer to the original or so






44. Form of progressive elaboration planning where the work to be accomplished in the near term is planned in detail at a low level of the work breakdown structure - while the work far in the future is planned at a relatively high level of the work break






45. Document that describes how the project scope will be defined - developed and verified and how the work breakdown structure will be created and defined and that provides guidance on how the project scope will be managed and controlled by the project
